Residents of Maine Town Not Required To Own Guns

BYRON, Maine (AP) — The small western Maine town of Byron won't be requiring residents to own guns. About 50 registered voters turned thumbs down on an article that read: "Shall the town of Byron vote to require all households to have firearms and ammunitions to protect the citizens?" Even Bruce Simmons, who proposed the measure, says it should have read "recommend' rather than "require."
